Abstract :
This paper aims to show how implementing new information technology has expanded the role of librarians as educators and how this role has matched the evolution of new technology. The paper looks at librarians' approaches to their role as educators and explores ways of most effectively implementing changes. The paper reflects on the changing role of librarians in an era of greater access to technology, including Web 2.0. Collaboration with faculty was found to be an essential. Teaching students and faculty to use new information technologies may have become one of the major roles of librarians. This paper of the web is causing a move from e-libraries to mobile libraries, and that the educational role of the librarians must encompass this trend and to anticipate similar future developments.
